Coffeezilla: LIBRA Team Admits to Sniping Their Own Token in Interview
YouTube reporter Coffeezilla (@coffeebreak_YT) posted on X, stating, “In this LIBRA interview, the team admitted to sniping their own token.”
Meteora co-founder Ben Chow responded again on X regarding questions related to LIBRA.
Ben Chow stated, “Meteora and I personally have never privately received or managed any tokens, nor have we participated in any off-chain transactions. We maintain the highest level of confidentiality regarding any token launches on the platform. For confidentiality reasons, only a very small number of people within Meteora have access to launch information. Typically, only I know the launch time, and the token/pool address is only provided to me and one or two on-duty engineers (if any) a few minutes before the launch.”
“The complexity of DLMM means that non-crypto-native users (such as celebrities, politicians, etc.) usually need to hire deployers and/or market makers when they want to launch tokens. We do not provide these services, but issuers often seek my recommendations for deployers and/or market makers. Hayden Davis from Kelsier Ventures is one of the deployers/market makers I have recommended to projects in the past few months. We have no special relationship with Kelsier; we only collaborated during the M3M3 launch years ago. During that collaboration, they appeared trustworthy, so I recommended them to some projects, including the team behind MELANIA. Like other projects, our role is limited to technical support; we have not purchased, received, or managed any tokens related to MELANIA.”
“For LIBRA, although we learned about its possibility through Hayden a few weeks ago, we did not participate in the project aside from providing IT support. Neither I nor the Meteora team undermined LIBRA’s launch by leaking information, nor did we purchase, receive, or manage any tokens.”
KIP: Did Not Manage or Guide LIBRA Token Issuance, Did Not Profit from It
KIP Protocol released a statement on X stating, “KIP Protocol CEO Julian Peh did meet with President Milei during the ‘Tech Forum Argentina’ trade show on October 19, 2024. This was Peh’s first meeting with President Milei. No specific projects, including the ‘Viva la Libertad’ project, were discussed or mentioned, nor was there any mention of token issuance. KIP Protocol does not engage in helping organizations issue tokens. We are a technology company focused on deploying AI infrastructure, and our business revolves around this core, so we rarely get involved in other matters. KIP Protocol was not aware of or involved in the meeting on January 30, 2025. Peh learned about the launch of a token project around February 13, 2025, which eventually became part of the project. Peh was informed that Hayden/Kelsier Ventures would lead the project and initiate the token issuance, while KIP Protocol would participate after the token issuance. The agreed terms were that KIP Protocol would only act based on Kelsier’s direct instructions. KIP did not initiate the project, nor did it manage or guide the token issuance process, nor did it receive any tokens before or after the issuance, nor did it profit from the token issuance. KIP was not even notified by Kelsier when the Libra token went live. Therefore, describing it as “a KIP Protocol project” is incorrect.”
Bubblemaps: Highly Confident LIBRA and MELANIA Are Controlled by the Same Group
Odaily Planet Daily reports that blockchain data company Bubblemaps stated on X: “There are speculations that MELANIA and LIBRA belong to the same team, but there is currently no conclusive evidence. After analyzing cross-chain transfers and timing patterns, we are very confident that this is indeed the case.
Our investigation into sniper activities on MELANIA shows that an address starting with P5tb4 profited over $2.4 million, and this address sent all profits to 0xcEA, a wallet associated with the MELANIA creator, with the transfer completed via the USDC cross-chain transfer protocol (CCTP).
There are multiple ways to link 0xcEA to the MELANIA creator, including fund transfers and cross-chain transfers, and we are convinced that these are not coincidences. This suggests that the MELANIA creator (or individuals close to their team) may have personally participated in the sniping.
Weeks later, we noticed that 0xcEA was funding the creator of LIBRA, DEfcyK, who withdrew 87 million LIBRA. Worse still, 0xcEA also sniped LIBRA and profited $6 million, using the same method as with MELANIA.
But the story doesn’t end there. We discovered many token issuances associated with 0xcEA, most of which are obvious ‘pump and dump’ activities, including TRUST, KACY, VIBES, and HOOD.”
Odaily Planet Daily reports that according to Lookonchain monitoring, an insider was aware of LIBRA's upcoming launch but bought in too late, losing 26,577 SOL (approximately $5.34 million), although he seems to have received compensation of 5 million USDC. According to @chooserich, this wallet may belong to Bartool Sports founder Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente).
The wallet “3apupK…Z1LF” was created the day before LIBRA's launch and received 29,000 SOL (approximately $5.76 million). This wallet began purchasing LIBRA about 9 minutes after its launch, when the price had already surged to $1.75. The wallet spent 28,740 SOL (approximately $5.77 million) to buy 2.3 million LIBRA at an average price of $2.51.
After reaching a price of $4.56, LIBRA began to decline, resulting in the wallet losing over $5 million. After receiving 4.5 million USDC, the wallet liquidated its LIBRA holdings and gained 2,163 SOL (approximately $430,000), and then received another 500,000 USDC.
Notably, this wallet also received 650,000 LIBRA sent by the LIBRA team, but it was quickly returned.

Many friends ask me why I am in this industry; the events of the past few days have made all cryptocurrency companies in Argentina look like scammers. Many honest builders who have been in this industry for a decade have been passively affected by this foolish behavior.”

MELANIA Team Tokens Set to Unlock Soon: 3% of Total, Valued at $39 Million
Odaily Planet Daily reports that on-chain analyst Yu Jin has monitored that the MELANIA team's tokens are set to begin unlocking the day after tomorrow or the day after that (1/19-20): a total of 3% (30 million tokens) of MELANIA will unlock, valued at $39 million.
According to MELANIA's unlocking rules, the team's tokens have a 30-day lock-up period, unlocking 3% after 30 days, and then 2.25% each month for the next 12 months.
A total of 30% of the total tokens will be unlocked over 13 months, which means:
The day after tomorrow or the day after that (2/19-20) will unlock a total of 3% (30 million tokens);
From the 2nd to the 13th month, 2.25% (22.5 million tokens) will unlock each month.
Note: Counting 30 days means the 19th, counting a month means the 20th.
Odaily Planet Daily reports that DEXX posted on X to explain the progress related to compensation concerns and issues:
- Compensation Order: Compensations are made in order from smallest to largest amounts.
- Compensation Progress: From the 8th to the 14th, all users with “Safe Wallet + Staked” of 5000U and below have been compensated. On the 15th and 16th, user feedback was collected to check for any omissions. Compensation for users with 5000-8000U began on the 16th.
- Why is the compensation speed not as fast as expected?
Recently, we received a lot of voices in Telegram stating that they are within the compensation range but have not received compensation. However, upon checking, we found that some had already been compensated 1-3 days ago, while others did not have a stake or did not generate a safe wallet. Within 2 days, we received a total of 863 similar private messages/customer service tickets, and after verification, only 152 cases were valid. A large number of repeated private messages/customer service tickets slow down the compensation process. - Why has the amount already been compensated to the 5000-10000 range, but I have not received compensation?
To successfully receive compensation, two conditions must be met: a safe wallet must have been generated at the time of compensation, and the NFT must have been staked. Most did not generate a safe wallet at the time of compensation. If you check your wallet and indeed have not received compensation, please ensure you have generated a safe wallet and staked the NFT before contacting customer service to register. - What should I do if I have not received my NFT yet?
The channel for receiving NFTs has been closed; you need to find customer service to manually register, and your compensation will be postponed. - Can daily compensation information be disclosed?
Since our compensation is randomly transferred from the exchange's hot wallet to your wallet, it takes time to capture the hash; we will randomly publish some hashes in the community daily.

Regulatory Policies
Odaily Planet Daily reports that South Korea's top five cryptocurrency exchanges are expected to introduce the Travel Rule for crypto transfers below 1 million won. Previously, exchanges were required to apply the Travel Rule to crypto transfers exceeding 1 million won when converting to Korean won, but this rule is now being extended to transactions below 1 million won to enhance transparency.
According to industry insiders, Coinone and Korbit are exploring plans to prohibit sending crypto assets below 1 million won to unverified accounts/wallets. Coinone and Korbit officials responded, stating, "We are currently conducting an internal review."
Following Upbit, Bithumb has recently implemented the Travel Rule for crypto transfers below 1 million won, and other major local exchanges are expected to join in. (Newsis)
Texas to Hold First Public Hearing on Establishing Strategic Bitcoin Reserves on February 18
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Texas will hold its first public hearing on establishing potential strategic Bitcoin reserves on February 18. Nexo scheduling analyst Iliya Kalchev stated that while the hearing is a positive move towards Bitcoin adoption, it may only represent a "symbolic gesture" for the cryptocurrency market.
Kalchev believes, "Texas viewing Bitcoin as a reserve asset is another step for BTC towards institutional legitimacy, but state-level initiatives often create ripples rather than waves compared to ETF inflows or corporate treasury allocations."
He added, "Unless the hearing announces immediate purchasing plans or significant policy changes, the market's reaction may be muted, as Texas's supportive stance on cryptocurrency is already well-known." (Cointelegraph)

CZ: Tried Many Wallets, But Never Bought Meme
Odaily Planet Daily reports that CZ responded to comments on X, stating: "I have tried many wallets, but I have never bought Meme."
Odaily Planet Daily reports that pump.fun co-founder Alon Cohen posted on X, expressing: "I am disgusted by the events surrounding LIBRA over the past few days. The people behind this project have gained considerable personal benefits at the expense of many users, the ecosystem, and even entire countries. I hope those responsible receive the punishment they deserve.
I know the situation is still developing, so if you know of any misconduct by participants in the ecosystem, no matter how small, you should speak up. I also understand that some may be in difficult situations, so my DMs are open for me to offer help.
The events of this weekend are particularly heartbreaking because the establishment of pump.fun was meant to address some of the issues exposed in the past few days. Most importantly, it is absurd for intermediaries like 'development teams' and market makers to be involved—creating a Meme coin should be very simple, and anyone should be able to do it. The mere existence of such participants means that anyone can easily be exploited.
Due to the damage caused by these events, many have stated that this could be the 'end of Meme coins.'
While I sympathize with those who wish to see the end of Meme coins because they are tired of such incidents, the fact is that user demand for permissionless on-chain creation/speculation will not disappear.
The same core user behavior you see in the Meme coin space has existed before—whether it was Dogecoin, the ICO craze, or NFTs/DeFi—in an increasingly scrutinized economy, there is no doubt that users will continue to want to trade on world events, culture, technology, and more.
That said, it is crucial for platforms to provide safeguards to ensure users are as safe as possible while meeting their needs. Here are some points I believe should be focused on to achieve this goal:
1) Educate users on how to create tokens safely and ethically
2) Make onboarding new traders more user-friendly
3) Place greater emphasis on user protection at the interface level
While no permissionless platform can completely eliminate negative outcomes on-chain, the interface can create a safer environment by reducing the visibility of tokens displaying suspicious trading patterns, setting reasonable default slippage settings (hint: slippage less than 20%), and so on."
Michael Saylor: Company Will Not Face Liquidation Risk Even if Bitcoin Drops 98%
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), stated in an interview that most of the company's Bitcoin was acquired through equity. For example, we currently hold Bitcoin worth $45 billion to $50 billion, while our debt is only $3 billion, and all of this debt is backed by assets. So, in reality, the Bitcoin we hold as collateral is 15 times our debt. Moreover, our debt is non-recourse and has a term of over four years. Even if Bitcoin drops 98%, the company will not face liquidation risk. The company possesses permanent capital.
Additionally, the company will not lend or stake Bitcoin to earn interest in the future, believing that the smartest move is to issue securities backed by Bitcoin.
Regarding whether "MicroStrategy will develop its own Bitcoin Layer 2 network or support existing Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions," Saylor stated, "I think we will first observe market developments. You can view MicroStrategy as operating on the third layer of Bitcoin. The second layer consists of open protocols like Lightning, while the third layer includes platforms like Binance, Coinbase, or MSTR, which are proprietary protocols. So, we already have a three-layer architecture with daily transaction volumes reaching billions of dollars. We recently launched Strike, another third-layer protocol, with daily transaction volumes reaching tens of millions, even exceeding $50 million. These are secure layers, or third-layer protocols, that are already very robust and attract a certain type of investor. In the future, Layer 2 solutions like Lightning may succeed, but I believe the real billion-dollar opportunity currently lies in the third layer.
Furthermore, Saylor revealed, "I do not hold any other cryptocurrencies. About four years ago, I publicly disclosed that I held 17,732 Bitcoins, purchased at a price slightly below $10,000 each. I do not remember the exact number, but this information can be found in my public tweets. Since then, I have bought some more, but I have never sold any. Therefore, I currently hold more Bitcoin than I did back then, but I have not disclosed how much it has increased." (Wu Says)

Analyst: As Meme Coin Craze Fades, Market Will Rotate from SOL to ETH
Odaily Planet Daily reports that cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe posted on X, stating: "ETH is starting to gain some momentum. In the Web3 ecosystem, I believe we will clearly see a rotation from SOL to ETH. People are tired of the Meme coin casino, which has many flaws, often signaling the end of an era.
